Spanish term

atender la diversidad

Spanish to English Art/Literary Education / Pedagogy
Una de las brechas más importantes es la que se ha abierto entre aquello que la escuela está en capacidad de ofrecer, representado en gran medida por los docentes en el aula, y las necesidades emergentes de los estudiantes, que responden a un entorno social concreto en el que se las debe satisfacer. Cerrar esta brecha –y las otras mencionadas, que son igualmente importantes- es una prioridad en la agenda política de los gobiernos, sin embargo lo hecho hasta hoy no ha tenido los efectos esperados. La evidencia de investigación a nivel internacional sostiene que para fortalecer las capacidades de los docentes en el manejo de metodologías y herramientas que les permitan atender la diversidad en las escuelas, contextualizar las prácticas de enseñanza y adaptarlas a las necesidades de grupos específicos, es necesario que la formación docente en servicio emplee nuevos formatos de capacitación y renovadas metodologías de trabajo, unas que fomenten espacios para la reflexión y el diálogo, así como el cuestionamiento de conocimientos y creencias.

Qué entienden por atender la diversidad?

Gracias!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

There are lots of organizations on campus that cater to diversity and make it very public for everyone to take part in.

Spanish term (edited): que les permitan atender la diversidad en las escuelas

allowing them to be responsive to a diverse student population

“Cater” realmente no es la opción más adecuada aquí, y por dos razones: 1.) suena demasiado servicial, como si se haría lo imposible para complacer a los estudiantes, cuando la idea es más “tener en cuenta” o “responder”; en este sentido, cabe destacar que el sentido primario de la palabra “cater” es “preparar y servir comida y refrescos; y 2.) en inglés, la palabra “cater” tiene con frecuencia el sentido peyorativo de “engreír” o “mimar”; por ejemplo, la mamá dice a su hijo adolescente que le pide un sandwich: “I’m not here to cater to your needs. If you want a sandwich, go to the kitchen and make it yourself. I’m also not your maid, so make sure you clean your room this afternoon.”
Peer comment(s):
neutral Robert Carter : Hi Robert. I can't see any practical difference between "be responsive to" and "cater to". cf "(cater for/to) Provide with what is needed or required: the school caters for children with learning difficulties" (Oxford Dict.). Saludos.
